I am rebuilding an application that stores data for search and recovery divers. Previously, it was for a single team and we used the english measurement systems, however, now that the application is growing to multiple teams and locations users and teams will have the ability to view data in either english or metric system measurements. My question is, do i store all data in one, ie english feet, and then convert each time for metric? The user can change their view preferences at any time. This would mean if a user said the dive was 3m deep, I'd store 9.842519685 and just do the math each time.

Thanks for the thoughts.
